Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Barcelona in general is a very pretty city. Visiting la Sagrada is perhaps the highlight for most and it is very fascinating! It is very impressive, but a bit hard to find the right viewpoint due to crowds and the construction. Still worth visiting, but not much time is needed to check it out unless you want to go inside.

    Just wanted to let people know that this Casa looks amazing from the outside at night. It is bathed in a golden glow. At the top there is a dragon and the windows are the skulls of it's victims. No cost to see this from the outside, on the street. A "must see!"

    We should have known how amazing this area is, but somehow didn't realize it, and ended up there by accident! It's a fascinating mix of medieval streets and cool modern businesses, but the real attraction for us was the ancient character of the neighborhood. Any random strolling here is rewarding.

    This is probably the most impressive of all the attractions we visited in Barcelona. The architecture, the colours, the design are all quite spectacular. The staff were also helpful and friendly.

    Since this was the first stop on our tour (WithLocals - Sagrada Familia and Casa Mila Tour: Light, Color & Architecture with Pili, which was excellent, by the way), we did not include a visit to the interior. Having said that, the house itself is impressive from the outside. Since you’ll be in the area for Botllo, it is worth taking some time to admire “The Stone Quarry."

    Basílica de Santa Maria del Mar is a huge building. It was built around the 14th century. The architecture is typical of this sort of church. It looks quite majestic in some ways. It is quite stunning.

    The Magic Fountain is indeed pure magic, when it works! We were lucky enough to see it in its full glory and were absolutely thrilled. The volume of water is astounding and the music and whole performance is so exhilarating.

    Beautiful display of Gaudi's first major project! We thoroughly enjoyed going as a family. There are ramps, elevators, and changing rooms which is very helpful to families with little ones.

    We took the metro to Passeig de Gracia, it was very easy to navigate! We spent the day shopping and exploring the city. Some of the luxury store had lines to enter their stores, and some you just walked in. Overall we had a great time in the city.

    So much to see and experience as one wanders along Las Ramblas. Many stalls selling everything one can imagine. Must be aware of hustlers! Much construction happening making the walk a little hazardous.

    We had a lovely time here but it is VERY crowded. You get a timed entrance ticket but it didn't seem to matter. We had to wait 30 minutes to enter the museum. But, the store was fantastic as wad the VR experience and the robokeeper. Worth a visit, but just be prepared for lines and a lot of crowds. Give yourself 2+ hours here.

    The cathedral is well worth visiting. The gothic architecture, both inside and out is quite stunning. Tickets can be bought online before visiting or when you arrive on site.

    We toured mid afternoon. No audio guides were available although we saw others using them and we didn’t use app. There were a number of explanations posted in the rooms. . You followed numbers room to room. We couldn’t figure out how to access rooftop. There were very few people to ask. But once we found someone, they were very helpful. House is very large and dark. Lots of steps. Tour Includes basement. There is one bathroom in basement. Overall interesting but not very well run.

    This was maybe my favorite thing in all of Barcelona because of the amazing architecture. No need to buy tickets in advance, although some people did. We purchased our tickets and audio guide on site with no issues. We spent about an hour and 45 minutes here in total and loved the architecture. The audioguide was good, and there were plenty of signs around and even a short movie. Well with a visit!!

    Magical place. Wife loved it. 10/10 worth visiting in the late afternoon or evening after the lights come on. Be prepared to meander, explore the myriad shops, cafes and restaurants.
